The challenge will see aspiring cooks prepare a healthy “no-cook” meal during the competition on Sunday.
Full-time trainer Shanon Lee Ee Mei, who specialises in mind-body healing therapy, will speak about the ill effects of ionising radiation and how prevention is vital.
“Right now, we have a lot of wireless devices with radiation spreading through the air.
“We are having more and more cases of cancer and we are actually getting weaker,” said Lee from Swas Breath, hoping to educate about the risk especially for young children.
On Saturday, yoga instructor Savy Ho will be speaking on loving kindness and sound healing.
The OhanaJo studio facilitator will introduce two methods of sound healing, using crystal singing bowls and Tibetan brass bowls. Mindfulness coach Remington Clooney, also from OhanaJo studio, will be speaking on integrating mindfulness into everyday urban life.

On Sunday, Datin Sofia Stefani will be conducting a talk on pelvic healing coupled with an introduction to her own self-created exer- cises to overcome involuntary urination (incontinence), chronic lower back pain and low libido among others.
Having struggled with severe organ prolapse herself, Sofia has helped women overcome these difficulties.
“Two weeks after I practised my own exercises, my incontinence was gone.
“When I posted on Facebook about my exercises, over 200 women responded, wanting help as well,” the corporate trainer said.
